Term Limits Redux

The following is a compendium of why we should NOT have term Limits. Reading it carefully tell us that this argument wants to keep our elected officials in office for as long as possible. This is based on the hope, erroneously, that the longer a person stays in office the smarter he gets.

So without Term Limits we have the possibility of anarchy. Which is where we are now. THis must be stopped. Term Limits is one way to stop it. I am for  Term Limits!

The other side of this argument, and the the more likely, is that the longer in office leads to the likelihood of corruption, power hunger, overreach and eventually dictatorship.

Which is what we have now.

The argument that says if you want to run against the incumbent, then run for election doesn't make sense against this argument. The incumbent always has much more chances of getting elected that the challenger.

This  is a copy of a Wikipedia posting on the why do we not need Term Limits..

1. When someone spends a long period of time at a job, they tend to become far more skilled than they were when they began working at it. Term limits limits the chances of someone growing into their position and becoming even better at it. A job of this importance can be overwhelming in the early going, so giving time to grow into it is recommended by some. Not True!

2. Should a member of UCO rise to the top and become a trusted voice, their career could end up being cut short by  term limits. Even if a person has no history of taking bribes or being corrupted by their power, they are unceremoniously ushered out the door along with all of the embezzlers, the power hungry and the incompetent. Not True, what we need here is a level field!

3 Getting rid of those who have served for too long ensures that there will be a new class of rookies who are not up to date on  all of the rules and regulations that their job entails. If a government body consistently has to break in new members and teach them the ropes, this cuts down on the amount of time that can be spent on real work. It also ensures we will have new, ambitious people entering the Administration. We have plenty of these!
